Introduction • Yey you got over covid and your in great health it’s been 2-3 months your going about your life • In the first few days you start to see a little more hair fall, post-Covid hair fall is an increasingly common phenomenon • The good news is, post-Covid hair loss is non-scarring and reversible • You can contact any good dermatology clinic for hair loss treatment in Bangalore.
Understanding The Triggers • The first step for effectively treating post-Covid hair loss is getting a thorough understanding of the root cause of the problem • The ‘telogen effluvium’ condition - which causes an imbalance in the follicular cycling process • It is important to note that the ‘telogen effluvium’ condition is a consequence of being affected by the pandemic • If the hair loss is more than ~100 per day (and in bunches), it is always advisable to seek expert medical consultation.
Getting Rid Of Stress Is Key • While the incidence of ‘telogen effluvium’ has grown by nearly 400% since the start of the pandemic, it has to be kept in mind that the hair loss is not a side-effect of Covid-19 • The phenomenon is caused, in most cases, by the stresses associated with the illness • As such, it is vital to manage stress levels effectively to treat post-Covid hair loss • Regular exercises and meditation, getting adequate sleep everyday and staying away from tensions of all kinds – can minimise hair fall problem.
Follow Best Practices for Hair; Do Not Panic • Consultants from any leading clinic for hair loss treatment would emphasise on the fact that post-Covid hair loss is a self-limited affliction • The panic is often so much that the the person experiencing it wants to get procedures done without the correction of basic lifestyle causes and medications • Conditioning your hair with the right products or oils to protect from uv damage to hair is a good addition to hair care • Heat-based treatments are best avoided.
Check Your Scalp Health Regularly • In regular cases of ‘telogen effluvium’, there should be little or no changes in the appearance of the scalp • Taking good care of the scalp and hair goes a long way in mitigating the effects of ‘telogen effluvium’ • Interestingly, the ‘telogen effluvium’ phenomenon is more common among, but is not limited to, Covid-19 patients • This makes it extremely important for everyone to avoid stress as much as possible, and adhere to healthy hair & scalp care habits.
The Importance Of Nutrition For Speeding Up Hair Regrowth • Following a regular, healthy diet is a vital part of post-Covid hair loss treatment • Your doctor or dietician will typically suggest a diet that has the correct amount of iron, vitamins, zinc, folic acid and protein • In certain cases, iron supplements and/or other medications can also be prescribed. Avoid taking random over-the-counter (OTC) medications though – the results can be counterproductive • People with relatively high iron levels in their body are likely to recover faster (i.e., the hair regrowth will be quicker) than those with anemic conditions.
Post-Covid Hair Loss and Increases In The Telogen Phase • The normal growth cycle of hair follicles has three broad phases • Hair growth (anagen) • Hair resting (catagen) • Hair shedding • When ‘telogen effluvium’ kicks in following Covid-19, the telogen phase shoots up by nearly 50% • By following good dietary & lifestyle habits, and by following the recommendations of your consultant dermatologist, this imbalance gets gradually restored.
The Need For Contacting A Hair Loss Treatment Clinic • It’s not irreversible and it will not make you go bald – but being negligent about post-Covid hair loss can lead to seriously adverse results • Instead of self-medicating, you should ideally contact a reliable skin & hair loss treatment center • A qualified dermatologist will guide you with the correct diet & lifestyle recommendations and supplements (as required).
